Raw Space Compliance: Key Considerations

Why Compliance Matters

Hong Kong exhibition venues have extremely stringent safety requirements. Non-compliance can result in delayed move-in, fines, or even booth dismantling. Understanding these requirements is essential for a smooth exhibition experience.

FS251 — Fire-rated Materials Certification

All custom booth materials must be certified fire-rated per Fire Services Department standards (FS251). This includes:

• Wood panels and timber structures
• Fabric and decorative materials
• Carpet and floor coverings
• Foam and padding materials
• Any synthetic decorative elements

Aplus Exhibition ensures all materials we use are FS251 certified. We handle the certification documentation for you.

RPE — Structural Safety Declaration

Any booth structure exceeding 2.5 meters in height requires a Registered Professional Engineer (RPE) to certify its structural safety. This applies to:

• Multi-level / two-story booths
• Tall display walls and arches
• Suspended structures and hanging elements
• LED wall support frames
• Complex roof structures

WR1 — Electrical Certificate

All electrical work in your booth must be certified with a WR1 (Certificate of Electrical Work Completion) by a registered electrical worker.

Additional Compliance Requirements

• Public Liability Insurance (mandatory)
• Booth plan submission to venue management
• Contractor registration with exhibition organizer
• Waste management plan
• Emergency exit clearance
